Taffy frogs move both alone and in groups. During the day, they usually rest motionless in the trees, at first glance like a piece of bark, difficult to detect, but most active at dawn and dusk. Its camouflage was so perfect during the day that it could have been right in front of us, and we thought it was part of a tree.
